CouncilNews

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Rooksdown Parish Council are about to start building a new skate park at Rooksdown Park. Works are due to commence on 13 December and will continue until early March 2018.

If you have any queries, please call 01256 844844 and ask to speak to someone about the Rooksdown Park skate park.

Rooksdown is growing fast, and we need to make sure that we have the best facilities we can.

We need to make sure that all the money from the new developments is spent wisely, giving us the best facilities and the best environment, making Rooksdown an even better place to live.

Much of this money will come through the Parish Council. We have two vacancies for councillors at the moment. If you want to be part of Rooksdown's future why not have look at how you could become a Parish Councillor.

BrokenStreetLight?

Before you report a fault, please check the faulty streetlight for its reference number. This is usually fixed to the column 1.5m to 2m (5 to 6 feet) above ground. If the street light also has a series of letters and numbers beneath the reference number, then please also use these when reporting the fault.

GrantApplications

Rooksdown Parish Council has a budget for the award of grants. The Council can only award grants for specific activities or projects which the Council feels will be of benefit to Rooksdown and its residents e.g. grants to a sport club, for a music festival or towards community celebrations of special events such as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

All applications must be accompanied by appropriate accounts or supporting financial information. Forms and the supporting information must be sent to the Clerk to the Council by email or at the address below:
